A NARROW ESCAPE.

Steamer Driver Martins Dangerous
 PHght-ThrOvvn from His Seat.
 In responding to the alarm of fire from box 31 early yesterday morning an accident which came near being attended with serious results occurred to Charles B. Martin, driver of steamer 9.
 For some unexplained reason the weights attached to the hangers which hold the har- ness in position above the pole of the engine failed to work when the catch was pulled which releases them, and the sharp hooks caught him in such a manner as to precipi- tate him on the tarred incline walk in front of the engine house and directly in front of the steamer, which weighs four tons. He managed to rol! to one side far enough to clear the steamer in the nick of time, but was badly wrenched and strained and his clothing was badly torn. The horses being under no restraint, and as it is well known very spirited, ran down Artisan street at 8 furious gait and no doubt but for the pres ence of mind of Engineer Sanger would have done considerable damage. He, however, took in the situation at glance and applied the brake and with the assistance of Driver Martin succeeded in stopping the horses on the corner of Artisan and Court streets. Driver Martin was congratulated yesterday on his narrow escape from death.

 Pleasant Duty.
 It becomes my pleasant duty in this com munication to thank my many generous friends for their hearty support, which has made success in my enterprise possible, and bid them an affectionate farewell. I might say great deal as I leave the field as ex- pressing my gratitude to the community for the kindly way in which have for months past been received into places of business and the homes of friends of my race as I have appealed to them, and not in vain, for help. It has been for me hard and bitter fight. This makes the victory all the more sweet, and I sincerely trust that our many contributors may never regret their invest ments made in the Dixwell avenue Congrega- tional church.
 The following contributions which have come in since my last report have done my nerves and tired brains more good than
 "Moxie," which have been using for some time to brace me up for the contest which is
 now ended. Most of the contributions were
 accompanied by notes of sympathy and en-
 couragement: MT. and Mrs. James
 H. Foy, Pasadena, Cal, check $100 ad; Mrs. Henry Farnam, check $50 ad.; 8 friend, $5; a friend,
 $1; lady, who is too modest to have her name mentioned, from her savings for years
 for a rainy day $50 ad,; Ebert B; Monroe, Southport, check $25; F. W. Pardee, check $25 ad.; Sarah $1; Burritt Hitchcock, check $10; Deacon T. Higgins, Huntsville, check $1O; Wm. A.. Ives, check $25 ad :; Dwight Place church, $20 ad.; Mrs. W. E. Chandler, $5 President T. Dwight, check $25 ad Mrs M. L. Skinner, check $25 ad. l fsBetier late than never," $5; 6 friend. $2 ad; friend, $100 ad.; friend, $7; Dr. B. L. Lambert, $5; Harmony division Sons of l Temperance No. 5, a check for $11, per Charles E. Hart. We have some extras amounting to about $50 for the settlement of which this small surplus will be used. 1 Thanks are due to Prof. Simeon E. Baldwin 1 for legal services to the amount of $100. | To John G. North, Esq, for services amounting to about the same sum or more, l to the city papers for their gratuitous publi- | cations-the COURIER and Palladium in par l ticular.
 An application will at once be sent in to
 the Congregational union for $500, after the | receiving of which our generous friend, MT. | T. R. Trowbridge, is to advance $500, which | will give us 8 church costing in all about l 1000 free from debt. May God bless our | friends, our beloved city and his cause l throughout the world is the sincere prayer of l your grateful servant as he bids you farewell A. P. MILLER, 480 Elm street.

FOR A NEW RAILROAD.
The Proposed New Route From New York to BOaton-The Route to Cros

The Proposed New Route From New
 York tO BoRton-The Route to Cross
 This City Near Hamilton Park.
 Mir. Sidney Smith, a civil engineer, and 8 company of twelve men are now engaged in surveying route from Boston to New York city. The surveyors, who are engaged in the interest of the Boston and New York Rapid Transit company surveyed nearly three miles of the proposed route yesterday and are to- day at work 8 few miles north of this city between Mill and Quinnipiac rivers.
 One of the men of the party, who are at the Selden House, stated yesterday that in his opinion the survey through New Haven would be through the western part of the city near the almshouse.
 MT. Franklin Mead, who is with the sur veyors, was engaged in surveying a route from Boston to New York four years ago.

the great value of the extension of the Derby road. The benefits to be derived from this feasible plan would be many. The freight rates, especially from New York State, have been burdenscme, much more in proportion than to any other town in the State. Our firm has lost all the trade we formerly had in Litchfeld county. Since the Shepaug and New England roads were built we have had no show. From the ex- treme west we now have Boston rates. Now, what better thing can the city do than to accept this fair offer and open up another line! All the northwestern part of the State will be tapped and our trade brought back to us. The investigation should be made a full one and have no doubt you will see that the extension will be fer the best inter ests of the city.
 Charles G. Kimberly, the State street wholesale merchant who deals in crockery, paper, twine, etc., was the last gentleman to testify in favor of the proposition. He gave some very interesting facts regarding the freights in his business. If we had competi- tive rates we would have no trouble what ever. recently had two hundred and forty dozen of brooms sent me. It cost SIP more to have them sent to New Haven than to Hartford or Bridgeport. MT. Kimberly in stanoed the heavy freightage he was obliged to pay on three carloads of fruit jars recent 1y. He now has his fruit jars come to Hart ford. He also mentioned how he could have certain portions Of h1s stock In trade brought from Maine and it cost less to bring them by steamer to New York than it does from New York to New Haven. Our freights are now very much against us. In shipping goods from here we meet with much Encouragement. in going up the Housatonie valley we have to allow the freight from here to Bridgeport You can bring freight from New York to Milford as cheap as you can send it from here to Mil ford. MT. Kimberly stated that he had no financial interest in the Housatonic Valley railroad company.
 The hearing WAS adjourned until Mon- day afternoon next at p. m., when the Housatonic company will complete their side. Next Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock the committee will hear those opposed. At the hearing on Monday after noon such gentlemen Rutherford Trow- bridge, ex-Mayor Welch, Amos F. Barnes and Wilbur F. Day will give the committee their views on the proposition, which will be in it's fayor
